Foreword From The Sponsors
Brityrex International’12 – the place to do business Paul Farrant elcome to Brityrex International 2012 at Event City, Manchester. In choosing our new venue we have responded to comments from visitors and exhibitors and believe the improved access, free parking and excellent facilities will provide a superb location for doing business. As ever, this year’s Brityrex is an exhibition that covers a wide spectrum of tyre and equipment interests. For anyone looking for new suppliers of tyres, workshop equipment, tyrebay tools, consumables and accessories, this is definitely the show to be at. And with new EU legislation coming into force this month for tyre labelling and Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems the timing of the show could not be better. Many of our exhibitors are displaying their solutions to the challenges and opportunities created by the new laws and our TyreTalk seminar programme will see both subjects covered in-depth by experts from the Tyre Industry Federation. We are proud that Brityrex is an enduring focal point and gathering place for the UK tyre industry. But tyres and equipment are global business sectors and the exhibition is also of great interest to a wider international audience. Over the next three days you will
W

meet exhibitors and visitors from dozens of countries. Many are exciting new suppliers seeking to establish a presence in the UK, while others are familiar names returning to meet both new and established contacts and distributors. Exhibitions are only as successful as the people who support them and in that respect we are grateful for the interest and commitment of our exhibitors, visitors and sponsors. The NTDA is the main show sponsor again this year and will be hosting another sell-out annual dinner and TAFF Awards on Wednesday evening. This will be a real social high point for the exhibition. Thanks also to the Tyre Industry Federation for their support in putting on the TyreTalk seminars and to our long-time media sponsor Tyres & Accessories. We hope your visit to Brityrex will be interesting, enjoyable and profitable and look forward to seeing you again in 2014.
Paul Farrant Managing Director ECI International Ltd
Brityrex hosts Tyre / Talk seminars for the first time part from the new venue, something else that you will quickly notice about this year’s Brityrex is the addition of a series of Tyre Talk seminars, designed to inform and provide a forum for discussion about some of the most pressing issues of the day. The NTDA, itself principal sponsor of Brityrex, has partnered with show organisers ECI International and some of the industry’s leading figures will be addressing the subjects in
A
hand. What’s interesting about the Tyre Talk approach is that, to ensure that as many people as possible have the opportunity to attend, some of the subjects are repeated on more than one day. The idea is that the concise talks competently address some of the main concerns of the tyre trade while at the same time, because they are comparatively short, visitors will still have all the time they need to visit the rest of the show’s attractions.
Here’s how the Tyre / Talk programme is scheduled to run: Tuesday 9 October • 14:00 TPMS, Ian Smith (chairman, NTDA Aftermarket Suppliers Group) • 15:00 Tyre Labelling, Graham Willson (secretary, Tyre Industry Federation) Wednesday 10 October • 11:00 Retreading, David Wilson (Director, Retread Manufacturers Association) • 12:00 Tyre Labelling, Graham Willson • 13:00 Tyre Disposal, Jane Whitelaw (Jane Whitelaw, EA Senior Advisor • 14:00 TPMS, Ian Smith • 15:00 Tyre Repairs, Alan Bithell (chairman, BSI Tyre Standards Repair Standards Committee) Thursday 11 October • 11:00 - Tyre Labelling, Graham Willson

Foreword From The Sponsors
Our language is tyres n the run-up to Brityrex, Tyres & Accessories like many others is eagerly anticipating what will take place during show week itself. We have been tracking the progress of the show since the last event closed its doors in 2010, reporting throughout the planning process before printing a comprehensive preview in our September issue and (thanks to the WiFi available at EventCity) this year our coverage will continue electronically throughout the show itself. It has to be said that the 2012 event represents a fresh approach to the well-known tyre show. The fact that Brityrex is a dedicated tyre and related equipment show within the British Isles makes it unique already. And this is one reason why Tyres & Accessories, which has itself been reporting on the tyre markets from these shores for some 66 years, is pleased to sponsor this exhibition. The move into a new venue and the additi-
I

on of new Tyre-Talk seminars now offer a bigger draw. October also represents a good month for the exhibition to be held. Firstly, with new tyre labelling and TPMS legislation set to take effect from November it represents a great time for industry friends, colleagues and even competitors to come together collate experience and cross-pollinate ideas and solution. But it also sits nicely in parallel with the popular NTDA annual dinner and our very industry “Oscars�, the Tyre And Fast Fit (TAFF) awards. While not actually on-site at EventCity, there are still likely to be lots of people making the trip to Manchester with a view to catching both events. But these are what you might call value added features which all really just serve to support the bulk of the exhibition, which is made up of companies investing in their business and the business as a whole by taking stands - all of which means that the show has been approaching sell-out
since around July. And this in turn should mean that those exhibiting have the most motivation to putting on a good show for visitors and other exhibitors alike. In some ways the international dimension of the show is also indicative of the market at large. With China and the Far East now a leading global tyre production base and with Europe (and specifically the UK) a real target market, it is no surprise to see companies from China, for example, are exhibiting and even launching their latest products (some making their global debuts) at Brityrex. There are also companies from quite different backgrounds within Europe, such as Poland and Portugal, and of course wholesalers, distributors, suppliers and even a training centre from this fair Isle. Again this is something that Tyres & Accessories thoroughly relates to as a company steeped in British history with a burgeoning international future. Our core readership will always be a key
priority in what we do, but as Brityrex also demonstrates in the global market we all live and work within, an international perspective is essential too. That’s why although Tyres & Accessories is the headline sponsor of this show, our magazine, website and e-Newsletter is proud to be part of Europe’s leading tyre publishing group together with Germany’s Neue Reifenzeitung and Italy’s PneusNews.it. After all, wherever we come from, our language is tyres…

Haweka UK director John Pullin commented: “In today’s tough economic climate the importance of correct vehicle alignment cannot be over-emphasised. Our equipment makes it possible for the CV operator to easily and quickly achieve savings available from reduced fuel consumption and tyre wear. A one degree mis-
alignment on one axle could increase fuel consumption by around five per cent. HAWEKA (UK) LTD Unit 5 Beta Orchard Trading Estate Toddington Gloucs GL54 5EB UNITED KINGDOM 01242 621001 tracey.nash@haweka.co.uk
